Or, if you can afford it then buy all means go for 3GHZ or higher core2 quad or even core i7.

I would 'not' recommend the Asus "Silent" models (passive cooling).

Could I ask
why you object against passive cooling? Am I correct the important difference between active and passive cooling is energy consumption, where passive means no energy consumption? So why would you not like it, I mean, what's the drawback then?
